SUBJECT:
CENTER LANE Funding (U)
ISSUE.
( S/ NOFORN) Use of Program 6 (R&D) monies for CENTER LANE.
* FACTS .
1. (S/CL-1 /NOFORN)
Memorandum for USDRE concerning the source of P.6
funding for CENTER LANE was hand carried to Principal Deputy ASA (RDA) and
Executive Assistant to USDRE. ( 3 NOV 83 MEMO)
0
Principal Deputy ASA (RDA) desires update on project. DAMI-ISH will
brief her 1130-1200 hrs 9 Nov 83.
0
Executive Asst. to USDRE stated that memorandum was acceptable and
that the P.6 monies could be dispersed.
0
DAMI-ISH notified CENTER LANE Project Manager of above; check will
be delivered to contractor 14 Nov 83.
2. (S/CL-2 / NOFORN/CLOSE HOLD) USDRE supports providing Army with approxi-
mately $600K additional funds for CENTER LANE research.
0
Funds were requested by DIA to support their related effort. DIA
is under samme constraint as Army regarding no use of !FIP funds and has no
mechanism to move USDRE funds to contractor.
o DAMI-ISH suggestion to OUSDRE 3 Nov 83 was that USDRE send a
memorandum to Army offering funds. ISH will structure a proposal satisfac-
tory to USDRE, DIA, ASA (RDA), DCSRDA, ACSI and INSCOM, and obtain legal
review. Unofficial agreement has already been obtained from DIA, ASA (RDA)
and INSCOM Project Manager.
0 Acceptance of these funds will essentially make Army Executive Agent
for CENTER LANE type activity for DoD and give Army greater voice in
setting project priorities.
D
OUSDRE will request that DARPA make the funds available, then work
with DAMI-ISH to write the USDRE memorandum to Army offering the funds.
0
Army ( ISH) role will have a yet to be determined staffing impact on
ISH.
